Successful

This poem is also just written to inspire myself when I get down. I also wrote it because I know a lot of people probably question themselves these exact words and want the same things for their life. I want people to be inspired by this poem and know that they can do anything.

How will I live my life? Will I live it wealthy or poor? How will they want me to live my life? Will they want me to rise above or be shoved down to the bottom core? Successful, is how I want my life to be, and if people won't believe I can be, soon they will see That i can do anything I put my mind to & you won't be able to stop me, there's nothing you could do Just know that one day, I will be on top and when that day does come, you still won't be able to get me to stop 'Cause I already made it either way And I'm still gonna smile & shine everyday From now until then, I'm gonna try I might run into struggle, but I won't be afraid to cry I know that I will eventually pull through and there's still a lot that I gotta do To make sure that I become successful I just gotta avoid the things that are stressfull Everything I do is all my choice Just know that I'll still speak even if you don't hear my voice I know you'll envy everything that I'll become Because i no longer be last, I'll finally be # 1.
